Chapter 1: Prairie Boys

The vast grassland, the sky is full of stars.

At the foot of the hill, the bonfire is burning, blown by the wind, whirring!

More than a dozen prairie men threw dead branches into the campfire, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time......

The clothes on the bodies of these dozen big men were of different colors, but they were covered with the same leather armor on the outside, and they were equipped with scimitars at their waists. After years of fighting, everyone has a murderous aura on their bodies, and these big men are soldiers of a tribe called the Yue clan on the grassland.

In today's grassland, various departments have been fighting for pastures for years. In order to resist the harassment and aggression of other tribes, the leader of the Yue clan would send his clan soldiers to patrol every day.

Leading the team today is Tie Langyu, the captain of the Yue Clan's personal guard. Tie Langyu is just over forty, in the prime of life, and is a powerful warrior of the Yue tribe.

At this moment, Tie Langyu sat among the clan soldiers, telling everyone the legendary stories spread on the grassland, and when it came to the wonderful points, everyone applauded, and the cheers of the clan soldiers spread far away......

Winter is about to begin, although it has not snowed yet, the temperature on the grassland has become very low, Tie Langyu led the clan soldiers to inspect the tribe around, and found no suspicious situation, so he took everyone here to rest, and a roe deer shot on the road became everyone's food.

After dawn, the next wave of clan soldiers will arrive, and the task of this group of clan soldiers will be completed.

Gradually, there were not many dead branches around the campfire.Tie Langyu glanced at one of the boys among the guards, and casually threw over a piece of roasted roe deer meat.

"Thank you, Uncle Tie!" the boy took the barbecue, thanked him, and gulped down.

"Eat, and then find something to burn!"

"Huzi, be careful, don't let the wolf take you away. The soldier shouted, causing the others to burst into laughter.

The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, and his big name was Lin Yi, but the people liked to call him Huzi. According to the rules of this grassland, a boy is not considered an adult until he is fifteen years old, and he can join the clan soldiers of the Yue tribe.

The condition for becoming a clan soldier is to kill a steppe wolf alone, and then sacrifice the wolf skin to the patriarch, which is a big event in the Yue clan, and every time a man in the clan sacrifices a wolf skin, it will be ceremoniously carried out, and from then on, the person who sacrifices the wolf skin will be considered to have grown up, and at the same time, he must join the clan soldiers to become a warrior and take on the heavy responsibility of defending the tribe.

The families of the soldiers can also be cared for by the tribe. The custom handed down from the grassland is not to raise incompetent people.

For many years, the women of the grassland herded the herds and kept the family, and the men fought with knives, and if the men in the family did not join the clan when they grew up, they would not be recognized by the tribesmen, and at the same time they would be driven out of the tribe to wander, and if the soldiers died in battle, the tribe would be responsible for feeding his family.

Lin Yi hadn't seen his father since he could remember, and his mother Dong raised him alone, and later Lin Yi learned from Uncle Tie Langyu that he and his mother were not from this grassland.

Many years ago, Dong took Lin Yi to wander to the grassland, and a tribal man saw that Dong's appearance was outstanding, so he was determined to snatch Dong home as a slave, and almost killed Lin Yi, but was seen by Tie Langyu, and Lin Yi's mother and son were rescued by Tie Langyu.

Tie Langyu brought Lin Yi's mother and son back to the Yue tribe, originally the Yue clan didn't want to take them in, just in time for the patriarch to fall ill, no one on the grassland could be cured, and seeing that the patriarch was about to die, it happened that the Dong clan saved the patriarch with a body of medical skills.

Since then, Lin Yi's mother and son have officially become members of the Yue tribe. Because the Dong family is kind to the patriarch, all the people in this grassland tribe have never bullied them, and another reason is that the Dong family has good medical skills and can treat the people of the clan.

After a long time, the Dong clan became the most respected person in the Yue tribe except for the patriarch.

The patriarch rewarded Lin Yi's mother and son with ten sheep and a cow, and the other clansmen also sent some things over, so Lin Yi and his mother stayed in this grassland. Over the years, Lin Yi's mother and son have drifted around with the Yue clan, and in the past few years, the Yue clan has been fighting with other tribes, and it is rare to live a stable life for a few days.

Now, Lin Yi's mother and son have moved to a valley on the grassland with the tribe, and life has stabilized. In addition to helping his mother herd, Lin Yi also followed his mother to learn medical skills.

The only thing that puzzled Lin Yi was that since he could remember, his mother would ask Lin Yi to write words for two hours every day, there was no pen or paper on the grassland, a branch was written, and a sand table was paper, which also made Lin Yi know a lot of words.

After taking a few bites, Lin Yi took the roe deer meat given by Tie Langyu into his arms, got up and walked towards the hill......

"General, let him go out on patrol with us before this tiger hair grows, Mrs. Dong is afraid that she will hate you!" Looking at Lin Yi who was far away, a clan soldier said.

Tie Langyu glared at the clansman!

"What do you know? Madame, she is kind-hearted, although she loves Huzi, but she will never spoil her, and letting Huzi come out is what she means. Tie Langyu took a sip of wine and continued: "Our grassland has been fighting for many years, Mrs. Dong understands in her heart, in order for Huzi to live on this grassland, he must become a soldier of the tribe, now let him follow us in advance, although it is dangerous, but it will be good for him, everyone listens, if you fight with the real eye, everyone must take care of him." ”

As soon as he thought of the True Eyes Tribe, Tie Langyu gritted his teeth with hatred!

One of the steppe tribes, the True-Eyed people have been fighting for years to expand their territory, slaughtering all the weaker tribes and plundering treasures, cattle, sheep, and women.

Four years ago, the Yue tribe and the Mame tribe fought for a piece of pasture, and the Mame clan spent a lot of money to form the Mame Iron Cavalry played a key role, and the last decisive battle allowed all the people of the Yue tribe to see the domineering of the Iron Cavalry.

The real eye iron cavalry disrupted the cavalry formation of the Yue clan soldiers, and the light cavalry of the real eye people was killed to the rear of the Yue clan, most of the women and children of the Yue clan were killed, and Tie Yuyu's wife was also snatched away by the real people, and now his whereabouts are unknown, at that time, Tie Langyu was rushing with more than a thousand personal guards and five hundred real eyes iron cavalry, and was killed by the real eye iron cavalry and fled!

In the end, the Yue clan gave up that grassland and moved again.

From that moment on, Tie Langyu's greatest wish was to one day lead his troops to kill the lair of the True Eyes and kill the True Eyes Iron Horse. However, Tie Langyu also knew that the current strength of the Yue clan could not be compared with the true eye people, and the real eye clan now had 30,000 iron horses, and the Yue clan could not compete with it at all.

Under the hill, at the place of a few dry poplars, Lin Yi used his own scimitar to cut the poplars into pieces, for Uncle Tie Langyu's orders, Lin Yi has no complaints, since his mother asked him to follow Uncle Tie, he has learned a lot.

There were a few encounters with the real eye, when the two sides were fighting, Tie Langyu would always arrange someone to take care of him, Lin Yi was careful but smart, knowing that this was Tie Langyu and the clan soldiers who did not want him to have an accident, so every time he patrolled, Lin Yi would always do some errands.

After cutting down a large pile of dead poplar branches, Lin Yi took the dead branches back, then sat aside, and took out the barbecue meat from his arms to eat. In two hours, it will be dawn, and then Tie Langyu will take everyone back to the valley and get a good night's sleep.

"It's getting dawn. Tie Langyu took a sip of wine, looked at the darkness in the sky, and muttered to himself.

The other guards all lay down, enjoying the silence of the night, and Tie Langyu also leaned against the sand behind him, slowly closing his eyes......

Lin Yi was also a little sleepy, but he knew that Uncle Tie was not sleeping, and he must be thinking about Aunt Tie at this time......

Slowly, Lin Yi fell asleep.

In his sleep, Lin Yi suddenly felt the earth tremble!

Enemy attack!

"It's the real eye, get up for me!" Tie Langyu shouted.

In the distance, dozens of real cavalry rushed towards the bonfire, the real iron cavalry was a heavy cavalry, although the number was small, but under the galloping horse, its momentum was so great that once it rushed over, it was enough to kill the unprepared Yue clan soldiers in one go.

Accustomed to the grassland war, his clan soldiers did not wait for Tie Langyu's order, and quickly mounted their horses to form a team to meet the enemy.

Lin Yi waited for the clan soldiers to form a team and rode on the rear side, consciously retreating to the rear, although he was not afraid of death, but Lin Yi knew that his strength was not enough, and forming a formation with the clan soldiers to meet the enemy would only affect their battle.

In a moment, the True Eyes Iron Cavalry had rushed to within a thousand meters, Tie Langyu stared at it, the formation of these True Eyes Cavalry was concentrated, and there was no fighting intent in the eyes of the cavalry under a closer look, which was different from before, Tie Langyu looked up behind the True Eyes and suddenly gasped!

A group of steppe wolves followed closely behind the real cavalry, and it seemed that there were no less than a thousand wolves, and the wolf teeth of the fierce wolves were white and bright in the moonlight, and there were bursts of howls from time to time.

The real man is targeted by a fierce wolf!

Bonfire!

Tie Langyu understood, the true eyes of the people did not come to fight, but unfortunately encountered this large group of grassland wolves, if the true eyes of the iron rode hundreds, he was not afraid of this large group of fierce wolves, but there were only dozens of horses, and there was no way to survive under the cruel attack of thousands of fierce wolves. It must have been the Shinmu people who discovered the bonfire here during their escape, so they fled this way.

At this time, it is too late to extinguish the fire, only to stay away from here, and flee separately from the true eyed people, the wolf pack will definitely chase those true eye people, the fierce wolf is cunning, but at this time it will never be separated, the true eye person Doma more, once caught up, the fierce wolf will get more meat.

Tie Langyu pointed to the hill on the side and shouted: "Follow me, everyone rushes up the hill at full speed!" After finishing speaking, Tie Langyu waved his horse and galloped, and was the first to rush out.

"Iron General, the fucking True Eyed is coming with us!" shouted a clan soldier in the midst of the gallop.

"Grandma, if you want to die elsewhere, if you don't pull us together, the people of the Zhenmu clan really deserve to die!"

"Don't talk nonsense, take the hill first. ”

The dust brought by the horse's hooves is flying, whether it is the true eye people or the Yueshi people, the speed of the fierce wolf is faster than the horse, and the endurance is also better than the foot of the war horse, there is no way out of escape, but neither side has the courage to fight with the fierce wolf.

With half a pillar of incense, Tie Langyu led the clan soldiers to rush up the hill, and then dismounted to prepare for a bloody battle. Under the command of Tie Langyu, the guards held knives in two rows, and fought with the fierce wolves, it was not possible to fight on the horse, in the face of the fierce wolves with a superior number, the longitudinal horse killing was effective, but once the war horse was bitten by the fierce wolf, there was only one end, and everyone and horses died.
